Why worry about noise?
Of all the pollution concerns:
– Air,water,land, and noise; noise pollution is
the one that has the potential for the most
damage to humans and wildlife.
– It is a hidden health hazard that impacts
our physical, psychological and intellectual
well being.
– Our ears never shut down, even while we
are sleeping, so the input is constant.
